Dear 2021,
I hope this finds you in good health. Your arrival was celebrated with great enthusiasm across the world and for me you brought many surprises and excitement like the amazing opportunity to watch one of the amazing meteor showers of the year, ‘The Quadrantids’.
I have a lot of expectations from you whether it is in the field of studies or stargazing. I have a desire to maintain consistency in my studies and I fear that the COVID situation is going to get worse and schools won’t reopen. I am afraid I won’t be able to go back to school and start studying normally. Last year had deprived me of going to our school’s laboratory and conducting experiments with the help of my chemistry teacher, but I hope that this year will allow me to do so. I aim to flourish in my academics and break new grounds.
Through the past year, my studies have been affected a lot and I would love to enrich myself with new knowledge this year. I would also love to get abundant opportunities from you for stargazing. It would be a bliss to see different stars and planets with the help of a telescope.
I look forward to emerging as a good and inspiring person. I hope to sow the seeds of self-control, determination and patience in me.
Thank you for giving me a chance to start anew.
Yours loving,
Radhika
